Love is Blue

Urghhh... I hate mornings, that slight ray of light that pierces my eyes yet, there is something that always motivates me to love my mornings. I then relocate my head and accidentaly bumped with what I initially thought to be a dream. But then I remembered that I am again with her, this is the person I mean pony that makes me love my mornings. Thank god I am with her again. I then grab a bit of her mane and just dropped it above my head. At least I have a shield against Celestia's accursed sun.

After ten minutes of trying to sleep, I just give up and stood up. I then rubbed my eyes and refocused my surroundings. I then got out of bed and stretched my legs and wings. After that I let out a long yawn, I get closer to the clock and see that it was 7:38 a.m. Well, nice start of the day.

"Get over here you big piece of oaf. It's sunday, we couldn't sleep that well because somepony kept wanting for more, its... 7:40!! Come on, you know it, I know it... Now get your rookie flank over here before something happens." Said the lazy mass of matter named Rainbow Dash. I giggled and caught a piece of the blanket and pulled. "Hey! Give me back the blanket!"

"Oh come on you lazy beauty, you know that early rises are the best." I giggled.

"So mean." She said as she pouted. I then pulled her and kissed her. "Come on, an hour, hour and a half... Where is the harm there?"

I pondered for a minute. She is right. It's 7:40, it's sunday, I am in Equestria, nothing stops me from having a total break in sunday. "Fine. Scoot over, I need a bit of space." I said as I laid down in the bed and stared at the ceiling.

"What's wrong?" She said.

"Well, you know that currently we are in a very delicate state where there is war. Thankfully just some bad guys who deserved death have been killed however, I don't like this one bit. I prefer to be at peace." I sighed and waited. Rainbow also sighed and then said:

"I know, I also missed the peace but, this was bound to happen. Tensions between Equestria and Griffinstone have been growing lately so it was now or never. What we didn't take into account was this Templar business. By the way, I forgot asking you this: Why did you say that they never could kill you?"

Shit, I didn't thought it through, oh well, do I say the truth or-

"And tell me why there are strange things that you and your friend know about but we don't."

There was then a menacing silence. Crap, well if I lie then what is loyalty? If I lie it won't go well for me in the future. Better go with the truth than lying to her.

"Well, I think it's best if I show you everything. After all, you deserve it as my depature of this world was not something I contemplated. Not even imagined that it could happen. But, you said earlier you want to sleep, so let's sleep." I said. As maybe with sleep and time Rainbow forgets this.

"You're right. But after this you will show me everything." She said with a cute yawn at the end. Well, maybe this will work. I then get up and got closer to Rainbow. I then hugged her and she hugged back. We both sighed.

"I love you." I murmured.

"Shut it, I'm trying to sleep here." RING RING RING At that sound we both grunted and I said:

"I'll get it." RING RING RING "Coming, Coming." I then unlocked the door and opened it. As I open, I see who was it. It was Dash's parents. Well, she never told me her folks were coming. "Good morning, let me bring Rainbow."

"Oh don't worry child, we just needed you." And suddenly everything went black.

Rainbow's POV

"Darling, why are you in this shithole? A pegasus like you should be in a better room. I need to talk later to Celestia about her choice of rooms." Why is my mom here?

"I agree. Why did you ever fall in love with this filth." My father said refering to Jorge. But what triggered me was how he sees my love.

"Jorge is not filth. While he is indeed not royalty or extremely rich or handsome, like those stallion dolls you are offering me, I love him for who he is. At least I am able to choose who I love not like someponies." I tried to carry some venom in my words to make my parents back up.

"Oi, you little shite don't talk to us like that. We have given you everything, food, high education, a place in the Wonderbolts, even we have saved you from your little pranks and mishaps. And this is how you treat us?"

As I looked down, I saw Jorge knocked out. "What the fuck did you do?" I then ran and grabbed Jorge. I examined every part of his body with both my wings and hooves in case he is hurt or worse. Thankfully there were none. "Go away, you ruined my fillyhood, and here you are destroying my only chance to live a good life. I understand if your parents gave you a shit life, but you don't have to do the same. Please go away."

"Well, looks like it is indeed true that a rotten apple infects other good apples. Thankfully this outrage of a relationship is not yet public. Better to make it so, it'll ruin our image." As my father ended the family guards arrived and as they tried to take Jorge, I opened my wings and tried to fend them off. "Cute, guards don't hold back. If it is necessary even knock Rainbow. That'll shut her up." They then followed the command and one jumped towards me and I managed to avoid it. Another came tackling but I countered and knocked him. "Dear god, just finish this already." As he said it a volt of magic hit me and I was paralyzed. *Pomf* I fell down and watched in horror as they took him away. "Where are you taking him?"

"Oh don't worry about that, he's going to be just fine. Now if you could write a letter saying that you'll be out 2 months because we were going into a family trip." I was handed a piece of paper and then a quill.

23 June of 2023

Dear Jorge

When you opened the door, you passed out and my parents tried to help you but they prefered to put you in the bed. I didn't tell you that they were going to go here to take me to the family trip. I'll come back in 2 months. There is going to be another letter in which I tell you the address of the hotel.

The little fox trotted into the devil's den. Fillydelphia and Manehattan. The floating Roman City.

With love
Your only love

"Finished." I said.

"Let me see, we don't want any unwanted attention." My mother said as she took the letter and started reading. "That's good. Now come, let's go home." We then parted to Cloudsdale. Before parting, I saw as they put everything in order and Jorge in the bed. Well, this is it. I doubt Jorge will come for me with that letter. This is going to be hell.

Now in Cloudsdale after 2 hours of flight. After arriving, they went to the Dash's state.

"Welcome home darling. We've got your room ready, some new dresses and your lab coat."

"Lab coat? For what?"

"For work of course. Royalty have high status in the Rainbow Factory. After all, we are the ones responsible to the making of the rainbow."

"Will I be in the Finance Department?"

"Oh dear, that's for commoners, that department needs people with low intelligence. That's no place for royalty. You'll be at the Operations Department. Where your father and mother excelled."

"Now now, let's go and eat so that you can go to your first day at work." So, I then went to my room and upon arriving I noticed it was like I left it 6 years ago. The same lame, old and fancy artwork in the walls. Though, I would expect at least dust build up due to the years yet it looks as if yesterday I left home. I then remembered that I got a little picture of me and Jorge so I search in my wings and found the photo.

That is the first thing Jorge taught her. Who would think of such madness that you can capture a beautiful moment of your life? I snickered. At first I was a little concerned of the device he had. Because it's not like those fancy and costly cameras that fashion ponies have. So, it was obvious I was afraid. I once again looked at the features I had put on the photo and I grunted. Damn, Jorge was so happy and was beaming of something I can't grasp yet but I was just watching the camera with a tone of surprise and concern. Two different poles. He was a human and I a pony. I never thought I'd fall in love with this enigma. Yet this is a photo that I just can't seem to trash it. I wish I didn't appear that ugly. But this will do, that smile will do wonders in this hell. I was close to drop tears when I heard a knock.

"Are you ready sweetie?"

"Sorry ma, but I just lost myself in thought and I couldn't change."

"Well, better hurry up, the breakfast will go cold if you don't hurry." I then looked around me and found a violet dress. If Jorge doesn't come from me because of the letter maybe my friends will. Then something dawned me. If I heard right there was going to be a month long expedition of the team of Jorge to engage the enemy on sea. And it departs tomorrow. He'll never read the letter. I then took the dress and put it aside me and looked at the mirror. Oh wow, how cute this dress is. What would Jorge say? I giggled. Why wonder if the answer is always the same: "If no pony was here I could devour you with how beautiful you look." *Pomf* Damn, just in the wrong time you fuckers decide to express yourselves. Yet with similar of these answers he never helped. But I dare say, I like this dress. Well, here goes nothing. I put on the rear end first and ended with the top part. I adjusted the top and then looked again in the mirror. Fantastic! If my parents were different I would be overjoyed and thankfull of this dress. Yet, why are they like that? What happened?

I then joined the dining hall. It was so big I was flabbergasted.

"Come on in, sit in your favourite chair." Said father. And as I looked downwards I stopped dead in my tracks. Upon arrival, I saw many stallions and mares that where looking towards me.

"What's this?"

"Well, your mother and I thought that you would appreciate it if you know the prospect stallions that we consider are optimal to your marriage." My ears then flattened in my head. Great. Well, what could go wrong? Or I dare say what could go right?

Immediately some stallions went up and greeted me.

"You look dashing.", "Princess Dash it is truly an honor to finally meet you." or "You are more beautiful than what they told us." Among other things were what stallions said. Dear Celestia, not even Jorge told me that the first time we met. And they were all met with pure silence by my part. I just don't know what to answer. And my front two hooves felt like shit from all the false things these noble stallions said. Though, I have to admit, some were incredibly handsome yet I know that's just pure show. What they have inside is just mud, and I would be impressed if they had acquired a sense of civilization. Most want the pus to then abandon it when they no longer like it to go to another. Because that's what's going on for ages, herds. If you don't like one mare you have 4 others or 3. Disgusting. Now this appeals more to male fantasy than conquering something.

As I sat down, I was approached by a stallion. "Say, Princess Dash what have you conquered or battled?" Princesses are also expected to be warriors and also delicate. This was not the only reason, they know I am a general in the Equestrian army so they expect great stories. Yet, I'll just ruin my first impressions maybe some will go with how I'll deal with this. I smiled.

"Oh! Funny you asked I actually conquered and battled so many demons and dragons you'll be scared to death. It was gruesome. So many good soldiers were killed in action because of this, but somepony came in to save me." I could hear some "ooohs" and "aaahs". Then somepony ask the following:

"What were the demons and dragons you battled?"

"Well, demons there were 7, dragons where about 10 each with 7 heads and 7 horns."

"Could you tell us the names of the demons?"

"Why yes. So all of them are demon lords and they are the following: Sir Envyham, Sir Sloth, Sir Lustricious, General Grievous, Sir Pridentam, Sir Glutton Dick, and Sir Angar Roth. I conquered 5 of these demons, yet very rarely do the conquered demons come back." Then there was a huge round of applause.

"For how many days have you been fighting these demons?"

"Well, it has been... 9 years? 10? I don't remember but when somepony entered my life all of this fight was a ton easier."

"You keep mentioning this mystery pony. Who is it?" I choked in my food and then grabed the water and it passed.

"Jorge. He's the hero, he's the knight in shining armor. Funny thing is that he told me that these 7 demons are constantly attacking him, although he has conquered all, they still haunt him. And he has told me that some of these demons have wrecked his life entirely, yet there is a blank space in there because he said that something or someone saved him. Even now I haven't known who was it."

"Who's Jorge?" Oh, now this is jackpot. I smiled bigger than I have ever smiled. Yet as I was going to answer my mother said:

"Next question, that is irrelevant to this conversation." Damn.

"Well, *cough* tell us about the dragons."

"I'll only tell you about just two. These two are currently present here yet they are hidden in plain sight. The first is the most ugly, perversed and unjust. The second is very, very dangerous. It is easily angered, and is very powerful. They are hidden in plain sight because their strategy is to make the others believe you are mentally crazy, therefore in some ways they do the job. Well, it has been nice talking to all of you but I need to go. After all, today is my first day of work." I then headed towards my room. And upon arrival, my mom entered.

"Wow, Rainbow your war stories are better than I imagined. Maybe that filth is not at all that filthy." I beamed, is she reconsidering her position?

"So, you'll approve of our relationship?"

"How cute. Are you still hoping for that? That is doomed. In the next days you'll get to now your fianceés. Oh, you got to try with Prince Blueblood. He's the cousin of Princess Celestia. Although he is a unicorn, he has high potential."

"Wow mom, I didn't know your taste was shit. No wonder you ended up with dad."

"Now, come on, you don't want to be late to your first day of work." she said chirping.

"Yes ma."

"That's my cutie." She said as she closed the door. I then looked to where my 'work' clothes where and I found them neatly arranged with a white helmet on top. I put on the lab coat and went to the kitchen. There mom was waiting for me. She then looked towards me and eyed me. "Good. I am happy that you could be able to follow the family's tradition. Now make us proud." As I went outside, a blue carriage awaited for me. I then opened the door and jumped into the carriage.

"Well, well, I never imagined the Rainbow Dash would come to work to the Rainbow Factory." Said a coated pony. Who is he? "Oh, I beg your pardon princess, how rude of me not to introduce myself. I am Doctor Atmosphere."

"Don't sweat it."

"Oh, we've got to work on your vocabulary. We defenitely don't want for you to talk like those beasts."

"Hey, they are not beasts. The only beasts are the noble parties. You know, I am friends with our four equestrian princesses. I could tell them that you told them they are beasts. After all, they've got the same vocabulary I have." He smiled.

"Nice sharp tounge you have there, you will be a great addition to our ranks. By the way, as your first assignment I need you to learn everything about the Rainbow Factory. For now let's talk a bit."

After some minutes in the carriage, we arrived to the factory. It had the usual factory structure, big, with two big funnels that emit black smoke and the windows had all rainbow colored glass, in the front there was two poles: one with Equestrian Flag and the other with a white flag and in the middle a rainbow. As the logo of the factory it had a cloud that emited a thunder on top of it tree pilars with three colors: red, green and blue, and finally on the sides there were two pegasus wings, one of which was broken.

So, we enter the factory and the first thing I see is a grey desk which must be the reception. Behind it, a cloaked mare with goggles and helmet was there. She looked towards us and trotted and said:

"Doctor Atmosphere, good morning. I see you bring a new blood. Let's begin her register." We then went to the desk and she continued: "So, a noble... which household?"

"Dash Household." He said.

"Dash House-... Wait... That Dash, the General Dash, she who conquered and beaten ten griffins in the battle of Horseshoe Bay?!?!?!? Oh Celestia, oh Celestia, I have waited so long to finally meet you. Can you give me your autograph. In paper, flank, heart, wherever I just am a big fan of you." I was flabbergasted by the sudden reaction and felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Now, now, miss Sweetheart, we don't need to make uncomfortable our addition." But that ended on deaf ears and the mare continued:

"I heard you were searching for potential husbands. I do recommend a stallion who is Laine Harmsbourg. He's handsome, easily the second richest, he's strong and better yet, he works here!" Harmsbourg? Where have I heard this name?

"Aren't you a commoner?" I said.

"Well, most assume that but no, I am not. I am actually from the Sweetheart Household." Now I remember what were the Harmsbourg famous for.

"Harmsbourg household... Isn't the competition of my friend Applejack in the trade of the ciders?"

"Yes! Although the Applejack household or whatever they name those commoners have the majority of the participation in the market, and the Harmsbourg has every stallion and mare in Cloudsdale drinking their cider. So the other part is for the Harmsbourg."

"Mares... *sigh* Miss Sweetheart, we don't have time for chitchats, so please finish your job and please tell madame Browly to prepare a space for our new addition."

"Yes sir." And she went to do her job.

"Well, *sigh* now that that's out of the way... Tell me, what do you know about the Rainbow Factory?"

"I know that Celestia once entrusted pegasi the work of making the rainbows because in that time, the physical phenomena that enabled rainbows were inexistent. So, the pegasi proudly accepted it since it proved they were the superior race among the three types of ponies."

"Yes, excelent however, do you know how the rainbows are made?"

"No, they never told us."

"Do you remember your test that you made to be able to be a functional adult on our society?"

"Of course."

"Do you know what happens to the ones that fail?"

"I only know they pass through a door."

"That's just a small part of the answer. When Celestia ordered that special job that only pegasi were able to do, we didn't knew how to make the rainbows but a genius pegasus finally answered our questions and he proposed the following: To make a test that stresses so much the wings that only the strong and powerful make it through. And the weak wings were so damaged from the stress that the only way to cure them was amputation. So, after recieving the wings, we could harness so much pure power that we were able to create such a beautiful rainbow that Celestia officially appointed the pegasi as the ones that made the rainbow. However, we put also some characterisitics so that if a weak pegasus made it through, with this he'll definitely not pass."

"This is outrageous. I'll speak to Celestia about this."

"Oh, Rainbow, how many tried but failed. We have the power to even influence Celestia's decisions. So, I recommend to not try doing it."

"Well, I'll tell Jorge."

He laughed and said: "That human-turned-pony? You're kidding right? He's weak. We've seen his wings, they won't make it through the test. By the way why not do the test to Jorge? After all, he needs to contribute to the pegasus society. He's after all more than 4 years a pegasus."

"What?!?!? No! He's 1 year and a half a pegasus, he was sent back to his home and then came back just a little while ago. He isn't ready. He's not even that familiar with his wings."

"Unnecessary details. He'll make the test tomorrow with the rest of the fillies that will participate."

"No! He has an expedition asked by Celestia, she won't permit this."

"Oh, she will, you'll see. She won't even know. Now, let's continue shall we?"

POV: Jorge

*Grunt* What the hell happened? *KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"Coming." As I stood, I noticed a little note in the dresser near the bed. I'll read it later. I grab the letter and put it in my bag. I then opened the door and there, Shining Armor was standing. "What brings you today?"

"We need to be ready now, Celestia asked that the patrol be done now instead tomorrow. So, I came to tell you about it."

"Let's go. Just wait a bit." I then closed the door and grabbed my bag and as I grabbed it, the letter fell out. I once again reached for it and put it in my bag. "Ready, let's head to the barracks."

"Your crew is ready, they are waiting for you on the war table."

"Let's go there, then." I then closed the door and locked it. We then headed for the war room.

Arriving at said point, the crew was ready. Yet something is different. Something that developed for three years. "Captain on deck." Then everypony stopped doing what they were doing and formed a line. Power Glade was the first to gasp.

"Captain?!?!?!? We thought you were dead." Everypony then looked at me, and they were waiting for my response.

"Believe me, not even Celestia can kill me." They laughed and then I proceeded: "So, looks like we are going to the old times."

"We've missed the old times. Celestia still manages to help us not loose our edge but it's not the same." Said Horn Glow.

"Well, since the Bismarck is no longer, we have a wide variety of choices."

"Captain, no offence, but isn't ship building a super long process?" Said Shadow Reeve.

"Nop, I didn't tell you about this but I have a superpower that allows me to generate a ship from nothing you'll see. So, I personally prefer the Grober Kürfust, decent AA, Nice brawling capabilities, and very durable. Although I was considering the Kremlin, but that will be a side ship. So, let's go to the docks and go in our little mission."

"Captain, your mission."

"Ah!!" I looked backwards and found Celestia and the crew having a laugh. "Damnit, I'll get my revenge." I joined the laughter.

"Anyways, leaving fun aside, this mission is very very dangerous are you sure you want to go?"

"Of course, what could go wrong?" I said.

"Look, scouts have said that griffins have developed some sort of navy."

"Wooden or metalic?"

"Wooden."

"Ok, by the way, how's the war on the other fronts?"

"Well, thanks to the efforts of the mane 6 and Shinning Armor we managed to back off the Templars and the griffons to the other side of the sea. And so, with the new weapons right now the sea is the battlefield. Although the losses are significant on our side, we have reports that the enemy suffered worse. Reports suggest we are close to beating the enemy. We just need to conquer the other side of Equus. Anyway, your mission is to attempt to secure the seas. The socialist hippogriffs have control of the whole sea we need in order to cross to the other side."

"Well, this changes everything. When did they revolt?"

"Just a year ago, thankfully just the guards were harmed but the king and queen are worried."

"Their citizens?"

"Most are harboured here in Canterlot, but they need to go home. Now, if you excuse me, I need to attend my court." She then headed towards her destination.

"So, how many months will we be out?" Said Sahara.

"If nothing happens 2 months." I said. "Let's move it." We then arrived at port and I just selected the battleship I needed and then it appeared. It was truly magestic and also big. The crew and the townsponies couldn't believe what they were seeing. Just another monster and this was the biggest they have seen. "Don't stand there gawking come on in. We need to hurry." And so, we entered the comming tower and everypony took places and we left port. After leaving the port, just one crewmember will be at the comming tower while the rest goes and do anything they need. I was the first to suggest that I be guiding the ship yet they didn't agree as they told me I need a lot to catch on as I was out 3 years. And so, I went to the captain's quarters and laid everything down. And decided to go to sleep.

"Captain, won't we need a convoy in case an underwater attack?"

"Nice thinking. We'll also have a carrier for the underwater threat. And a submarine just in case."
